DARMORV10_C09P16530.1 — Brassica napus

Summary

DARMORV10_C09P16530.1 on oilseed rape chromosome C09 encodes a PPR-containing protein with endonuclease activity and RNA binding, including pre-rRNA, mRNA, and single-stranded RNA binding, as well as zinc and DNA binding. This gene is associated with chloroplast RNA processing, group II intron splicing, mitochondrial mRNA modification, photosystem I assembly, oxidative phosphorylation, and retrotransposition. It is linked to cytoplasmic male sterility, pollen fertility, heterosis, seed maturation, raffinose content, and other plant traits. The protein localizes to the chloroplast stroma, mitochondria, and cytoplasm. Studies of related genes in other species connect this family to mitochondrial RNA processing and respiratory functions.
